The Dota 2 Major Championships

The Boston Major is just one month away. Congratulations to the eight teams that battled through the Qualifiers to earn their places alongside the direct invites. While the attending teams and players make their final adjustments and preparations before traveling to Boston, we’d like to turn briefly to the remaining events in this year’s Dota 2 Major Championships schedule.

THE SPRING MAJOR AND THE INTERNATIONAL 2017
The Spring Major Main Event will take place April 20 – 23, 2017, preceded by Open Qualifiers on March 6 – 9, and Regional Qualifiers on March 10 – 13. Wrapping up the competitive season, The International 2017 Main Event will once again be held in the first half of August, with Open Qualifiers running June 22 – 25, and Regional Qualifiers following on June 26 – 29.

For the Spring Major Qualifiers, we will be breaking the Americas Qualifiers into two distinct regions—North America and South America—and similarly changing the Europe Qualifiers into separate Europe Qualifiers and CIS Qualifiers.

THE BOSTON MAJOR
Now that the field of competing teams for the Fall Major is complete, we look forward to welcoming the players and fans to Boston’s Wang Theatre. With an influx of up-and-coming rosters set to square off against the established teams in a single-elimination playoff bracket, all with their sights set on claiming the Eaglesong trophy, there’s no telling how the action will unfold. Tune in for Group Stage play on December 3 – 4 followed by the Main Event on December 7 – 10 to find out.
